The recruiter said she’d get back to you, right? It’s been a while and you’ve heard nothing. Does that mean you should call again?

It’s tough to know where you stand in the hiring process when recruiters use the same jargon to be respectful to eager applicants. It’s unclear what your next step in the hiring process is, or if you’re even still being considered. All of this confusion leads you to wonder if recruiters are from a different planet.

This infographic — compiled by MedReps.com, a job board which gives members access to the most sought after medical sales jobs and pharmaceutical sales jobs on the Web — should help clear things up. It provides solutions for common miscommunications between job seekers and employers, and tips to help make the planets align. Some points to note include:

94 percent of recruiters use social media to screen applicants

38 percent of companies have open positions they cannot find talent to fill

46 percent of resumes submitted contain some form of false information

On average, it takes 24.5 working days to fill a position

Check out the full infographic below and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

What do you think? What are some other reasons miscommunication occurs between job seekers and recruiters?
